Packers to Face Bears on Christmas Day in 2nd Netflix Game

Green Bay Packers fans, mark your calendars! It looks like the Packers will be playing the Chicago Bears on Christmas Day this year, and you can catch all the action on Netflix. This exciting news comes just before the full 2026 NFL schedule was released, so be sure to renew your streaming subscriptions.

This matchup on Christmas Day is in addition to the previously announced game against the Los Angeles Rams on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. It seems like the NFL is really leaning into streaming services, with the Packers being a prime example of the league’s expansion into this digital landscape.

This won’t be the Packers’ first time playing on a streaming platform. In fact, they played on Peacock for the past two seasons. But this Christmas Day game against the Bears will be the first of two games on Netflix for the Packers this season. And for those planning their holiday festivities, you’ll be glad to know that the game kicks off at the classic time of 12:00 Noon Central Time, leaving plenty of time for a delicious Christmas dinner afterwards.

It’s not every year that Christmas Day falls on a Friday, so having the Packers play on this holiday is definitely a special treat for fans. And for those who love watching the Packers on holidays, it’s worth noting that they have a history of playing on Thanksgiving as well.

With this latest addition to their schedule, the Packers could potentially play on every day of the week except for Tuesday. So get ready for a season filled with exciting matchups, and stay tuned for the official schedule release tonight at 7:00 PM Central Time. Exciting times are ahead for Packers fans!
